Description

Explore the architectural and urban evolution of one of India's most significant urban centers. This book provides an extended analysis of Kolkata, tracing its development from the early days of colonialism through the period of independence and into the twenty-first century. Siddhartha Sen examines how the city transformed from a colonial hub into a Marxist city, and the subsequent efforts to reshape it into a global city. Set within the broader context of Indian urban planning and architecture, this work offers deep insights for students, historians, and urbanists. The text examines the shifts in urbanism and the structural changes that have defined the city's identity over decades. This volume is an essential resource for anyone studying the history of Asian cities and the complex relationship between political shifts and urban design.
